Alumni Dedication
There comes a time in a mans life when he
must decide in what manner he is going to leave
his mark in this world, large or small, spectacular
or drab, successful or mediocre, as his talents
and circumstance may decree. From the thou-
sands of professions and occupations which pre-
sent themselves some choose to become the
servants of mankind, the healers of the sick, the
comforters of the mind and body. They choose
the medical profession.
Let us follow the growth of the infant brought
into this world by our "horse and buggy" doctor.
What does life hold for him? Childhood comes
and goes but deep in the far recesses of his mind
an ambition has taken root.
"And what are you going to be when you grow
up, little boy?"
"I want to be a cowboy, a fireman, a doctor."
As happens with most children the cowboy and
fireman existence is dropped, but the desire to be
a doctor becomes more deeply ingrained. This
is now a goal to be sought and obtained.
What about the others who have made the
same decision and have gone before us from our
school? It is impossible to know of all of them,
but here is the story of their organization.
An Alumni Association of the University of
Maryland. School of Medicine, was founded at
some date now unknown. However in 1936 it
was reorganized as a non-profit organization and
has been an integrated and smoothly functioning
body since then. At the present it is composed
of about 4000 living members, about half of
whom are active in the affairs of the organiza-
tion. The purpose of the group is perpetuating
those associations which began during profes-
sional student life and keeping alive the interest
in its Alma Mater and advancing in every legiti-
mate way her welfare.
Also this group keeps an up-to-date record of
all the graduates of the School of Medicine. They
publish and help finance the Bulletin of the Uni-
versity of Maryland, a scientific periodical. It is

The Administration
THE ADMINISTRATION, that li.xU <.f officials, clerks, secretaries, and
countless others, whose miiltitiidinous tasks are concerned with the efficient
functionin<; of anv institution of learning, is often overlooked by the student
in his busy schedule of courses and clinics. Headed by the Dean's office,
this large organization of workers is constant^ concerned with the welfare
of the school, students. facult\ and alunnii as well as the constant planning
required for the nuriad of courses which go into the making ujj a compre-
hensive medical curriculum, the procurement of instructors, the maintenance
of the buildings and grounds, the accurate accounting of funds and the
planning of extension teaching for alumni.
The student perha|)s is most familiar with the Deans office, for it is
through this ofiice that the directixcs and general information concerning his
life at medical school are issued. Tlic e(licicnc\ and smooth functioning of
this office cannot be mentioned without some reference to Miss (!onway,
whose kind cooperation and willingness to help in any wa\ will be indelibly
impressed upon our memory.
The Office of Hospital Administration, headed b\ Mr. (leorge H. Buck,

the added responsibility of planning and providing for the education and
training of students.

TO THE MEMBERS OF THE CLASS OF 195J
To the members of this class I send my warmest wishes for
a satisfying career in the field of medicine. Up lo this time you
have been guided by experienced hands of others, soon your future
will rest in your own hands.
The degree of satisfaction derived froin your work as a
physician will depend on the extent of responsibility you are willing
to assume in promotion of the welfare of your patients. It is
my hope that when you turn back the pages of memory in after years
you will be wholly satisfied with your sense of responsibility in
this respect.
Good luck!

Freshman Class
The class of 1956 is 103 stroiif; iiuludiiif; four niciiil)ers of
the gentle sex. Although predominaiitK (■oni|)osc(l of Marv-
landers, this number includes students from all |iarls of the
I nited States and her possessions: from Maine to Puerto Kico
and from the Atlantic to the sunny isle of Hawaii in the Pacific.
The list of alma maters of the class members reads like a
"Who's Who of American (Colleges." Among those r<'|)rocMlc(l
are Yale. Princeton. William and Mar\ . Mrown. and Washington
and Lee. not to forget the fighting irislmuiri from Notre Dame
or the stale college contingents from I lah and West Virginia.
(iolleges in all parts of Mar\lanil are represented including, of
course, the University of Marx land. Johns llupkin--. l.cp\ola.
Western Maryland. Morgan and Washington (inllcgc.
On (he whole the I47th class of the meilical sclniol is \oimger
than its r<'c<'nt predecessors and the percentage of \eterans and
married men is consideraliU lower. However, we do boast of
representatives from all branihes of the ser\ ice. As for the marital
situation, one of our nuMubcrs walked ihc aisle during the recent
school vear and sexeral more ha\c inadc plans for being married
this Spring.
The extra curricular aclix ities of the class lia\e co\ered a wide
field of endeavor. There are few hospitals in the cit\ that do
not boast of one of the class mendjers serving in one capacity or
another.
The class as a whole was an acti\(' one. alwa\s being well re|)re-
sented at the school dances and and)ilious enough to present a
Christmas dance in conjunction with the School of Nursing, and
a Spring outing also. We hope to make these annual affairs.
The class of 1956. although a higliK active one. is also a highly
studious one and we are proud of our accoiTiplishments this vear.
To Doctors Figge. Krahl. Schmidt. Amberson and finesinger.
and to the members of their ilepartmenls we are profoundlv
grateful. This \ear has been a verv enlightening one and we
are looking forward to the next three with renewed vigor. We
sincerelv hope to succeed in our endeavors as students and upon
completion of our training to be a credit to our school and
profession.

ANATOMY
Instruction in human anatomy began rather
informally in 1789 with Dr. Andrew Wiesenthal's
class of fifteen students. Since that time many
illustrious names have appeared as head of the
department. Dr. Eduard Uhlenhuth joined the
staff of the University of Maryland in 1925 and
became the head of the Department of Anatomy
upon the retirement of Dr. Carl Davis in 1948.
Today the department includes that of anatomy,
histology and embryology.
As Dr. Uhlenhuth's 25th Anniversity Class we
feel especially proud to list ourselves with others
of the medical profession who have been taught
l)\ this most impressive of teachers. The dis-
section of the human body has known stormy

and that this wDuld be our first and last chance
to view the human body in detail.

HISTOLOGY
During our freshman year we were fortunate
indeed to come in contact with Dr. Frank H. J.
Figge and his staff who taught us not only his-
tology and embryology but also how to critically
analyze motion pictures. We were tutored in
aspects of cellular structure, their relationships in
the various organs and systems and their func-
tions. The workings of the microscope were no
longer strange to us.

BIOCHEMISTRY
The University of Wisconsin has long been
noted for its ability to |)rociu(o hiocheniists and
not the least of these is Dr. Kinil Schniidl. who
was appointetl 111 ihi' (Irparliiifiit in 1925.
During the second semester of the first year
we became well aware of the fact that he was
out to teach us our last loniial course in chem-
istry, especialh as applied to the human body.
We also learned that he fostered a well-trained
ulcer which like any such deyice acted up right on
schedule when spring came around. But with
the help of Amphojel and with Ur. Schmidt
spending Easter yacation following his ayoca-
tion — golf — we suryiyed the rigors of the cour.se
in good measure.
We became intimateh acquainted with the
Krebs cycle. We also haye memories of juggling
a gallon jug on the BTC in an effort to collect a
24 hour s])ecimen. of running a PSP, and of
chewing a block of wax until our jaws ached in
an effort to show that we. too. had enzymes.

we were introduced into the complexities and
functions of coenzymes and the utilization of
glucose. It might be said that he carried us
from coenzyme I to valine.
It was here we got our first practical experi-
ence as to what lay ahead for us as clinical clerks
and interns. We became very familiar with
Benedicts, benzidine, BL N and BSP. It was
here too that we tried to convince ourselves that
maybe two blood sugars from the same sample
could read 264 mg different.
We were also plagued by that most irritating
of inventions, the decimal point. When plead-
ingly we took the sample to Dr. Schmidt with
the correct answer but the decimal in the wrong
place we only got the answer. "Sorry, son, that
patient died a week ago."

PHYSIOLOGY
From Dr. Amliersun s experiences at Woods
Hole and I psala to the Dofi Fig:ht of 1950 we
thoroughly enjoyed our assoeialion willi the De-
partment of Physiology. This alile group of men
had as its goal the desire to impress u|)on our
slap-happy synapses the functions of the luirnaii
body. We feel that they succeedetl. at least to a
certain degree. We know that we did not learn
ail that was offered, hut tlie\ did leave us with
the feeling that there is some semblance of order
to the human body and a desire to learn more
about it in the years to come. The atnujsphere
was always that of encouraging inquiry on our
part.
The "Dog Fight of laiO" ubirh «as ably
sparked by the Department of Phxsiology and
assisted by many hundreds of their fellows in-
terested in science throughout the ("ity of Bal-

PSYCHIATRY
JACOB E. FINESINGER. B.A., M.A.,
M.D.. Professor oj Psychkitry and
Head oj the Department. He has been
at Maryland since 1950 after gradu-
ating from Johns Hopkins and doing
post-graduate work at Harvard. He has
been instrumental in the expansion of
the psychiatry program at Maryland
which has resulted in the building of
the new Psvchiatric Institute.
The Department of Psychiatry has been func-
tioning at the School of Medicine for the past 25
years, but it was not until January. 1950, when
Dr. Jacob E. Finesinger was appointed that it
had its first full-time professor. Dr. Ross McFu
Chapman, a past director of Shepard Pratt Hos-
pital, was the first Professor of Psychiatry, serv-
ing from 1923 to 1948.
When Dr. Finesinger arrived in 1950 and in-
troduced us to our course he posed the question
"How do you feel about that?" With this and
similar questions rolling around in our brains
we were forced to conclude that certain events
had occurred. We decided that we could answer
the question without having much idea of what
we were answering and secondly, that this was
not going to be a series of didactic lectures.
When at last he told us that we were adults and

would i)e treated as; such our worst fears were
confirmed. This was a new attitude toward edu-
cation and one which was met with mixed emo-
tions.
By the end of the first year we realized that
there was much to be learned from Dr. Finesing-
er's general discussion periods and seminars.
We continued to cultivate our interview tech-
nique in the sophomore year and also received
fiidactic material. Our junior year saw increased
activity on our part. We journeyed to Shepard
Pratt and Spring Grove Hospitals, received a
good short course in psychoses from Ur. Tuerk.
and spent several sessions interview in^ patients
and discussing diagnosis.
in our senior year we spent one whole imumIIi
on psychiatry and were quite pleased to be the
first senior class to go through our tour of duty
in the new l's\chiatric Institute. AUIioukIi not

full) equipped, this building is certainly the finest
of its kind in the East. With equal emphasis
upon research and teaching facilities, it shows
the fruits of good planning and active sup|)ort.
Dr. Finesinger and Dr. Greenhill and the other
members of this department have a big job ahead
of them, but from our brief but lasting associa-
tion with them we have the feeling that they will
do much to make the University of Maryland.

field in the future.

The lab.
BACTERIOLOGY
A sophomore student sat on his high stool
contemplating one Dr. F. W. Hachtel and the
more intimate workings of the bacteri-ah. Many
hundreds of doctors have come to know the above
mentioned gentleman who so zealously guards
the "bugs ' on the 2nd floor and has as his ded-
icated purpose the teaching of bacteriology to
those who come into daily contact with results
of bacterial infection. Dr. Hachtel joined the
department in 1923.
The >ear 19.51 saw added activil\ in the de-
|)artnient when Drs. Steers and Smith became
part of the teaching staff. In addition to teach-
ing, these men are accentuating the much needed
backbone of modern medicine — research. In-
terested in both the biochemical processes of bac-
teria and the nature of viruses they can do much
to strengthen and expand this branch of our basic
medical curriculum.
It was in the Department of Bacteriology that
we realized there is an art to medicine, especially
when it came to deciding such things as Brownian
movement vs motility. We stabbed slants, plas-
tered plates, incubated agars and tried to guess
which one was the contaminant.
In nuv last week in Bacteriology we went
through that horrible ordeal called a practical
but more affectionately known as Frank's Fan-
tasia. Each morning we eagerly dashed to the
FRANK W. HACHTEL, M.D. Pro-
fessor of Bacteriology and Head of

Department since 1920 and has an

Words like litre, agglutination, hemolysins and

such alacrity as to bring awe into the eyes of
every freshman. We mixed sheep cells, guinea
pig serum, washed human cells and a couple of
drops from an old bottle, incubated, water-bathed
and come out with results beyond compare.

Assistant Professor' of Medicine in Neurology
NEUROLOGY
One of the more instructive courses in the
clinical years was neurology. If not it wasn't
the fault of the staff members who did the teach-
ing. These men did their upmost to dispel our
fears of the subject and at times had us believing
that we. too, could make a diagnosis that was
correct.
Beginning with Dr. Teitelbaum"s lectures in
the second year, we successively received lec-
tures from Drs. Merrill. Fearing and Lerner.
Dr. George Merrill, a mixture of doctor, farmer
and preacher, brightened our Saturday mornings
with two-handed drawings, ten minute quizzes
and imitations of tabetics while giving us formal
lectures on how to conduct a neurological ex-
amination and information on some of the more
frequently met neurological disorders.
Dr. William Fearing, the curator of the mu-
seum at City Hospitals, gave us some very in-
structive sessions on chronic conditions. Here,
armed with flashlights, ophthalmoscope, pins.
reflex hammers and wisps of cotton, we advanced
upon the patient and after much tapping, pulling
and poking would trv to come up with the correct
diagnosis. Many of us are still looking for a
clear cut case of temporal pallor.
Dr. Lerner is chief of the Neurology Clinic
at Mercy and as such guided us in our first ap-
plication of the principles we had been taught
in the years before and also helped us separate
psychiatric from medical neurological problems.
He also gave us the present day concepts on such
common disorders as coma, epilepsy and Park-
insonism and discussed their therapy.
Dr. Cotter and others of the department com-
pleted the picture by conducting some very in-
teresting clinics and ward rounds with the help
of the staff at University Hospital.

PATHOLOGY
One of the most profitable experiences that
can happen to any medical student is his asso-
ciation with the study of pathology. Here at
the University of Maryland this has long been
recognized and we were indeed fortunate to have
been taught by the mendjers of this department.
As early as 1838 there was a desire on the part
of Davidge and Potter to establish the teaching
of pathology under a separate head, but it was
not until 1847 when a lectureship under Dr. G.
W. Mittenberger was established that this desire
was realized. One of the early difficulties was
the dearth of good teaching material. For many
years the Almshouse, later BCH, was the sole
source of material. This, added to the private
collection of Dr. G. S. Pattison, was the only
available material. When Christopher Johnson
became Lecturer in Experimental Physiology and
Microscopy in 1855 he stimulated the use of the
microscope in studying pathologic specimens.
This increased the student's ability to learn and
a desire for more autopsies. W. A. Hammond
35
in 1861 succeeded Johnson and obtained three
microscopes for student use. After Dr. Ham-
mond, Drs. F. Donaldson, 1866-1880. and I. E.
Atkinson, 1881-1886, successively occupied the
chief spot in the department.
The late 1800"s saw two graduates of this
school attaining prominence in the field of path-
ology. These were N. G. Keirle and W. T. Coun-
cilman. It wasn't until 1915 that full-time teach-
ers were employed. The first of these was Dr.
W. R. Stokes, 1915-1919. In 1921 Dr. Hugh R.
Spencer, present head of the department, assumed
his professorship and through his leadership
there has developed at the University of Mary-
land one of the finest teaching groups in the
country.
We first came into contact with the department
in the second year when we had lectures on the
subject and studied microscopic sections. In
the third year we split into small groups which
with the aid of the twin stimuli of a high, hard
stool and an eyeful of formalin, learned what
some of the gross lesions of the various organs
are. It was during this year that we attended
our required number of autopsies. At these we
assisted, observed and obtained a good workable
knowledge of the effect disease processes have
upon the bodily organs. In writing up these
autopsies we correlated pathology with physi-
ology and physical signs.
In the senior year we came to enjoy that most
stimulating of exercises, the CPC. First added
to the teaching curriculum in 1913, this forum
allows the students and professors to meet on
equal footing and vie for the correct diagnosis.
Here we bowed on the fact and the rather thor-
ough coup-de-grace administered by Dr. Spencer
and the members of his staff. Much was learned
by all during these sessions.

PHARMACOLOGY
By the time we had reached the third floor
of Bressler we had heard rumors that the De-
partment of Pharmacology was a smoothly func-
tioning outfit. Actually we weren't surprised to
hear the perfect diction of Dr. Krantz, but we
were amazed to find that we had to come to
medical school to hear the English language
spoken as few take the care to speak it. However
we soon came to realize that it was not our lot
to sit and admire the smooth manner of Dr.
Krantz and the mild thoroughness of Dr. Carr.
To the contrary, after the first tea-party it was
strongly hinted by our classmates that we should
know the action of drugs well.
We met pharmacology during our sophomore

try. He has been the director of Sharp

year and were given a very complete and thor-
ough lecture course on drugs, their properties
and actions. The laboratory periods were well
integrated with lecture material and it was here
that we could observe firsthand the pharmaco-
logical action of various preparation on animals.
We began to learn dosage, forms of drugs and
had much practice in filling out the physician's
calling card — the prescription blank.
Aside from displaying their pleasing teaching
talents and running a very instructive course,
the members of this department are actively en-
gaged in many activities including research. In
looking back we find that although this course
had its challenging moments we are proud to
have passed some time with Dr. Krantz and his
efficient group who are continually searching for
new therapeutic agents and who are aiding others
of the school to maintain the name of the Univer-
sity of Maryland. School of Medicine, as a lead-
ing force in modern medicine.

Walter L. Kilby. M.D.. Professor of Roentgenology
and the Head of the Department, graduated from the
University of Virginia in 1933. He received radio-
logical training at the same institution and in Cin-
cinnati. He has been connected with the University
of Maryland since 1936, except for a four year period
when he was with the U. S. Army in the Pacific.
ROENTGENOLOGY
Ever since Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen first in-
troduced the use of X-ray into the world this
branch of science has come to play an ever in-
creasingly important role in medicine. At the
University of Maryland we are fortunate indeed
to have a most efficient department and one which
is proud of its past and the role it has played in
medicine.
As early as April. 1896. scarcely four months
after Roentgen's announcement, positive evidence
was forthcoming that there existed at the Uni-
versity of Maryland ideas as to how X-ray might
play an important part in diagnosis. It was at
this time that Dr. John C. Hemmeter, Professor
of Gastroenterology, published his article "Pho-
tography of the Human Stomach". The first
X-ray apparatus for general use was installed in
the second floor of the University Hospital annex
in the summer of lo96. At first no particular
person was in charge of the apparatus and its
use was both promiscuous and practical. In the
year 1900 the department was organized with
Dr. Compton Riely as head. His tenure was
short lived because the X-ray was causing severe
Codington confirms his
impression.
burns and desquamation of his hands. He was
succeeded by Dr. William Bryant Fitch in 1901
who served until 1904 when he resigned because
of poor health. Dr. Nathan Winslow then as-
sumed the role of head of the department but he,
too. was forced to resign because he also suffered
the early uncontrolled effects of X-ray. Among
his notes are found these observations: Proper
examination of the hands takes 1 minute, chest
3 minutes, kidney 8-10 miimtes and the pelvis
\r> minutes. He was succeeded by Dr. Howard
E. Ashbury who resigned 1911.
New life was instilled into the department
when Dr. Robert (Ihandlec became head in 1911.
This man was one of the pioneers of X-ray and
a great teacher. He travelled abroad and brought
back the first radium to be used for skin lesions
in Haltimore. His successor. Dr. H. J. Walton,
set up the first full time X-ray department in
Baltimore in 1923. In 1936 Dr. Walter Kilby
joined Dr. Walton, first Professor Emeritus, and
after his retirement became head of the Dejiart-
ment of Hoentyenoloiiv.

GYNECOLOGY
The Department of Gynecology had a very
humble and modest beginning. About 1849 we
find the first mention of actual delivery of lec-
tures on "Diseases of Women" by Professor Rich-
ard H. Thomas. Actually the department did
not have its beginning until 1867 when it for-
mally organized with Dr. W. T. Howard as its
head.

"Now, compared to Father's Tumor . . .
His successor was Dr. Thcimas Ashl>\ hIi" up-
held the position in every respect. Dr. William
Gardner succeeded Dr. Ashhv in 1016. He was
instrumental in establishing the Oncolo{;\ Depart-
ment and persuaded department members to
carry on further research. The use of radium
was also becoming more widespread and the in-
formation assimilated within the department
helped others to better understand the use of this
valuable material in gvnecologic problems.
Dr. J. Mason Hundley, Jr., became head of
the department in 1936 and under his leadership
a most efficient and progressive group have taken
over the teaching of gynecology. Dr. Hundley
was Associate Professor in 1927 and 1931 saw
him going to Germany for further study in Kiel
and Berlin.
In our junior vear we were introduced to
gvnecologv bv a series of lectures upon the sub-
ject b\ various members oi the staff. Dr. Diehls
lectures on malignancies of the female organs
were especially well received. During our senior
year we spent our time in the clinics, clinical
conferences, seminars, and operative clinic. Now
we could do a complete physical.

Harry M. Robinson. Sr., M.D.. Pro-
lessor of Dermatology was a member
of the class of 1909. After graduation
he entered general practice while con-
tinuing his studies at Johns Hopkins
and the University. He became inter-
ested in dermatology and in 1933 ob-
tained his American Boards. In 1937
he was appointed Professor of Derma-
tology and has continued with his
research in dermatologicai problems as
well as building up a fine teaching
clinic.
DERMATOLOGY
One of the most colorful of the departments is the one
which holds forth in the basement of the dispensary build-
ing. Its purpose is to teach everyone to recognize the fifty
most common skin lesions. As juniors we held weekly quiz-
zes under Robbie Sr., who made dire threats about our future
if we didn't start soaking up some dermatology. As seniors
we received a concentrated dose of teaching talent and clin-
ical material. This department did more than just present
a course. They went out of their way to retain the clinical
material for all of us to see. The crowning moments were
the seminars held in Gordon Wilson with Robbie Sr. in
charge. We will never forget P. R., L. E. or "Hey. Pete!"

Dr. George Brown, an Irishman hy birth, was the
first to be appointed the head of the Department,
but he resigned immediateK in favor of Dr. Na-

Medicine for thirty-six years, was a native of the
Eastern Shore and received his MD at the I ni-
versity of Pennsylvania. He wrote several trea-
tises, the most notable of which was Potter on
Contasiiou. in which he advanced the theory of
the non-contagious nature of Yellow Fever. In
addition to his teaching duties he was kept busy
trving to hold the newlv founded school together
and battle an unfriendlv administration. An

In 1843 Drs. Joseph Roby and Richard Stew-
art were successive occupants of the professor-
ship. Dr. Elisha Bartlett was appointed in 1844
but only held this position two years. His suc-
cessor was Dr. William Powers, a graduate of
the University of Maryland. He was a brilliant
and able teacher and his untimely death from
tuberculosis was a great loss to the University.
The next man to head the department was Dr.
Samuel Chew. He headed it through the stormy
years just before and during the Civil War and
managed to keep the school going despite a
dearth of students. His successor. Dr. Richard
McSherry. was a militarv doctor who had gained

OBSTETRICS
The principles of obstetrics have obviously
been known to mankind for thousands of years.
Here at the University of Maryland obstetrics
has been formally taught since 1813 when Dr.
Richard Hall gave his first series of lectures.
The present head of the department. Dr. Louis
H. Douglass, has been teaching obstetrics for
more than forty years. He became head of the
department in 1938 and through his undying de-
sire for better obstetrics has built the department
into a highly efficient organization.
The course in obstetrics was one continuous
integrated series of lectures and clinics which
were spread over a three year period. In our
sophomore year we were given our introduction
to the subject by Dr. Reese. Our junior year
included a series of didactic lectures by various
members of the staff, a "dry" clinic on the tech-

At City we were brought out of the textbook and
faced with actual deliveries. We enjoyed all of
it and especially our association with Dr. Emer-
son Fackler and his staff.
Our senior year was a fitting climax. During
our two week stay we probably lost more sleep
than we ever had in our lives. We were assigned
to the delivery suite and there assisted the visit-
ing men, observed some of the more complicated
deliveries, and delivered a few babies ourselves.
We also made daily ward rounds with the staff
and attended conferences. We concluded that
arrival times should be better scheduled.

J. Edmund Bradley, M.D., Professor

School at Georgetown in 1932 and took
further training in Boston. Although
engaged in an active practice, he was
an instructor of pediatrics at the Lni-
versity. In 1946 he hecanie the Direc-
tor of Pediatrics at the Permonte
Foundation in California and Oregon.
In 1948 he returned to the University
as a full-time professor and was
appointed the department head.
PEDIATRICS
Although pediatrics was not recognized as an
important and separate department when the
School of Medicine was established, still, as far
back as 1845 we find that instruction was being
given in the diseases of children. The first record
states that they were "treated and explained" by
Professor Hall, who had the title of Professor of
Midwifery. Diseases of Women and Children.
Dr. William Howard was elected to the newly
created chair of Diseases of Women and Children
in 1867 in what was perhaps the earliest recog-
nition in this country of these departments as
independent branches of medicine.
It was not until 30 years later, in 1897. that
the Department of Diseases of Children emerged
as an independent entity. Dr. Charles Mitchell,
Professor of Therapeutics and Clinical Medicine,

was appointed Professor of Diseases of Children.
By 1900 we find that the catalogue of the Faculty
of Medicine lists several hours a week in the third
and fourth years de\olcd lo the lea<hing of dis-
eases of children.
In 1916 Dr. John Kulirali uas appointed fii^l
Professor of Pediatrics at the School ol Medicine.
Since 194!! Dr. J. Edmund Bradle) has held the
position of Professor of Pediatrics and is head of
the department.

other course. Our first handling of children
conies also during the junior year when we ex-
amine infants and children and write up the
physical and discuss the physical findings.
In our senior year we were glad to have been
associated with this department because they pre-
sented a fine, concentrated, instructive course.
We were divided into two sections — Mercy and
University. The relative merits of these sections
are difficuh to evaluate from the participants.
Those at the Lniversity swore they were slaves —
we have reason to believe different — and those at
Mercy say they practiced more pediatrics walking
from University Hospital to Mercy Hospital than
did their confreres during the entire month. We
feel that both learned their due amount.

SURGERY
The University "f Maryland, School of Medi-

John Beale Davidgc He received his medical
training at Edinburgh and Glasgow and returned
to his native Baltimore in 17%. Several vears
later he hegan his annual series of lectures in his
office. These lectures were the licginiiing <if the
present school.
When the medical school was founded. Dr.
Davidge, because of his early interest and prom-
inence in the community, and Dr. James Cocke
were appointed co-Professors of Surgery. Ana-
tomy and Physiology. In 1812 Dr. William
Gihson was appointed Professor of .Surgerv.
After his resignation Dr. (Jrainille Pattison was
appointed and held that position until 1826. In
1827 Dr. Nathan Smith. previousK Professor of
Surgery at Jefferson Medical .School, assumed
the role of Professor of .Surger\ and held this
|)osition for 4.H \ears.
In 1869 Dr. (^lirislopher Johnson succeeded
him. A versatile and capable man. his interests
included art. microscopy and scientific writing.
He performed an extirpation of the mandihie in
1873 and repair of extrophv of the Madder in
1876. Dr. Louis Tiffany was a|)|)ointed to head

medical education and surgery. Medical school
training which had been a two year course with
total fees of $120 was increased to three years in
1891 and five )ears later to four years. Lister's
antiseptic technique and improvements in anes-
thesia now made elective surgery possible. Dr.
Tiffany himself reported cases of successful col-
ostomy in 1877 and in 1885 he did the first
nephrolithotomy in the U.S. Several other teach-
ing units and hospitals were opened around this
time, most notable the Baltimore Eye and Ear
Hospital and in 1889 the John Hopkins Hospital.
In 1897. the present out-patient clinic was built
for $70,000. At that time it was the new Uni-
versity Hospital which replaced the Old Univer-
sity Infirmary built in 1874. Another great ad-
vance during Dr. Tiffany's time was the adoption
of the Anatomv Law in 1882. which assigned to
the medical college all unclaimed bodies.
In 1873 Randolph Winslow finished the two
year course at the medical school. He held nu-
merous appointments at the Liniversity and in
1902 he became Professor of Surgery. Dr. Wins-
low was a prolific author and avid student. He
was noted for his studies of gunshot wounds and
goitre. In 1888 he performed the first vaginal
hvsterectomv in Maryland.

Dr. Arthur M. .Shipley was next to he ap-
piiinted Professor of Siirger\ and he headed the
department from lyl2-l'J4}{. The merging of
the Baltimore Medical College. College of Physi-
cians and Surgeons, and the I niversitv in 191.5-
17 made much more clinical material availahle
for teaching. Dr. .Shipley made good u.se of
this facilit\ and stressed the hedside teaching of
the student.
The first World War hrought inanx new ad-
vances to surgery. Dr. Shipley, who served in
the I .S. Army, was ahle to use Dakin"s solution
in wound irrigation. The benefit of this and
other advances such as whole blood transfusion,
better techniques in colon surgery and ortho-
pedics and clinical laboratory measurement were
soon manifested in the type of surgery done and
the decreasing mortality rate.
The present Lniversity Hospital was built in
1934 and incorporated the facilities necessary
for modern surgerv. Soon after this the succes-

year we came fully under the influence of Dr.
Edwards and his staff.
We had previously started our quest for sur-
gical knowledge in the sophomore year when we
met with Dr. "Turk"" Adams. He gave us an in-
troductory series of lectures on surgery.
In our junior year we were exposed to the
teachings of Dr. Harry Hull in what was con-
sidered by many class members to be the best
prolonged series of lectures bv one man in the
entire curriculum. We soon came to enjoy his
earl\ morning class which was always studded
with anecdotes, aphorisms and tales of the past
greats in surgery. Occasionally, however, we
were left with red faces and a feeling somewhat
akin to his proverbial "pithed goat"' when in a
spot quiz we failed to come up with some of
his 1 — 2 — 3"s. All was not didactic because we
sincerely enjoyed our rounds at B.C.H. with Drs.
Brantigan and Adams.
As seniors we saw enough of the insides of
the O.R.'s at Mercy and the University to know
that we were far from being surgeons, but we had
received a good basic groundwork.

examined the eye and treated a variety of ocular
conditions. Also at this time the slit lamp and

general practitioner who is one of the class' few remain-
ing bachelors. When he isn't absorbing medical knowl-
edge Bernie enjoys himself b\ fishing and bowling.
CHARLES FISHER CARROLL. JR.
This likeable redhead who claims the waves to be
natural but is rumored to use "Toni — gentle" came to us
from Guilford College in his home state of North Carolina
wiiere he was born in 1926. His extreme loyalty to the
tarheel state was evidenced by his demands upon the
orchestra at school dances to play "Carolina Moon."
Charlie deserted bachelorhood when he married Marilvn
in September, 1952. Among his favorite past-times are
the Nu Sig parties which he claims are far more enjovable
than 2lo years in the Navy. Charlies future plans are
undecided although ophthalmology seems to hold some
fascination.

to Rosamond Kraus. Don spent his summers during med
school working at the parimutuel windows at race tracks
in and around Baltimore with the exception of one
summer when he externed at Maryland General. Don's
ambition to practice plastic surgery will probably have
to be postponed until he completes a tour of duty in the
service. Don is a Nu Sig and is well knoun for his love
of a good party.
JOHN VINTON CLIFT
This former member of the Airborne Division de-
scended into fiur midst from Hampden-Sidney although
his home is in Baltimore. Jack first made his appearance
into the world in 1924 and has been a ladies' man ever
since, capturing the eyes of all les femmes including
the only female member of our class. Well-known is
the fact that Jack's voluminous notes would easily serve
as a course in medicine in themselves. Likeable and con-
scientious is a good way to describe this Nu Sig who
is one of the class' greatest sports enthusiasts. Surgery
is the big attraction for Jack, be it general or a sub-
specialty.

JULES BERNARD EDLOW
Jules, known to his classmates as '"Eddy", was born in
Baltimore in 1925. He entered the armed services in 1943
spending three iiears in the Navy attached to the Fleet
Marine Force. Returning, he took his pre-medical train-
ing at College Park receiving his B.S. degree after a year
of medical school. He is a member of Phi DE. Summers
were spent in working as a butcher, a shoe salesman, and
a medical lab technician. Since the beginning of the clin-
ical years Jules, one of the few eligible bachelors left in
the class, has been especially interested in the rarer med-
ical diseases and favors internal medicine.
HARRY LUKE EYE
Luke, one of the younger members of the class, is a
1929 native of Pendleton County, W. Va. He was grad-
uated magna cum laude from West Virginia University
in 1949 and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. Harry spent
his summers back home on the farm helping Pop run the
liig tractor and pitch the shovel on the wagon. He is the
chief proponent in the class of W. Va. U. football power,
and of dating student nurses. Harry plans to spend sev-
eral years in a rotating internship and then go back to the
liills as a country practitioner.
HUGH VALENTINE FIROR
Hugh is a true rebel, hailing from Athens. Ga.: his
father, however, is a former Baltimorean and professor
at the University of Georgia. Hugh was quickly estab-
lished as one of the class scholars and was initiated into
AOA. Some doubt his mental alacrity, however, because
of the calibre of his oft repeated "jokes." At present, he
totters on the brink of marriage; and some Sunday in the
near future will probably find him and Betty under one
roof. Externships were served at "the Square" and at
Mercy; a summer was spent as a camp physician, and
another with a G.P. in Arkansas. His active and erudite
mind assure him continued success in his field.

SYLVAN FRIEMAN
With a heart) first cry on January 30, 1928. "Syl"
arrived in Baltimore with a small black bag in one hand
and a bridge deck in the other. Relegating the bridge to
a place of secondary importance, he followed the black
bag to medical school. Events during medical school in-
cluded membership in Phi DE. and externships during
the summers at Lutheran Hospital, Baltimore, and Jewish
Hospital, Philadelphia. Further events in Philadelphia
led to a meeting at the altar in June, 1952. and the former
Doris Rosenblatt became Mrs. Frieman. Looking into
the future, Syl plans to go into general surgery.

FREDERICK ADAMS GARLOCK
'#
Fred has been a Mar\ lander since 1926. claiming Beth-
esda for his home town. He is an 8-year University of
Maryland man with a 3 year interruption for naval duty.
He and Carolyn were married in 1947 and account for
two little Garlocks. fred has enjoyed varied summer
jobs, spending some time at a naval hospital to fulfill
reserve requirements. He aspires to a Navy internship
ami possibly a career in the Navy as a specialist. Fred
manifests diversified interests: hunting, boating, golf,
[iliolngraphy. and. of course, his family. His remarkable
talent for establishing good rap])ort with instructors is an
attribute at which classmates marvel.
JOSEPH SHERMER GARRISON, 3D
"Sherm" officially arrived on the Baltimore medical
scene in 1926. His early years were taken uj) with the
carefree joys of childhood and there was little to suggest
that a rival of Osier was to emerge. During his years at
Western Maryland College he showed a bend for Biology,
and from there it was but one step to medical school.
Here he showed himself to be an active participant in
discussions and a collector of rare therapeutic lid-bits.
In 1952 he married Anna Melissa. Shcrm's home on the
Severn has been the scene of several class parties. His
plans oscillate between general practice and surgery.
GEORGE GEVAS
Cfcorge first greeted an unsusijecting world in Yorkville,
Ohio, in 1924. Believing in the motto "Be prepared" he
spent three years with the armed forces as a surgical tech-
nician in addition to his pre-medical work at the Univer-
sity of Maryland. An earnest and conscientious student
he earned the title "spastic spartan" from his equally
spastic classmates. He married in August. 1951. and his
wife, Mary, has since presented him with a member of
the class of '75. Planning to intern in Baltimore he will
later enter general practice and hopes finally to specialize
in OB-Gvn.

JOSEPH PATRICK GILLOTTE
Since his birth in Danbury. Conn., in 192.5 Pat has
amazed and amused his friends with his versatility and
heterodoxy. Sports and music occupied his young life
while he waited for his synapses to finish forming. He
served in the Army from 1943-4.5 as a member of a Special
Services unit (one wonders just what these special serv-
ices were). After pre-med at the I niversity of Maryland
he began his career at medical school; his escapades here
do not require print to be remembered. Undecided about
evervthing except Mar\land's football team, and his wife,
he leans toward internal medicine as a future vehicle for
his talents.
LEONARD BARRY CLICK
Born in 1929. young Click is most famous because he
is "Shipley's son." However, he is best remembered by
the class for his spontaneous dissertation on "Phlebo-
thrombophlebitis." Len has preserved his single status
with aplonds amid myriads of adoring females. He aspires
to a specialty, surgical or otherwise, hoping to intern in
New Orleans where he spent his last sunnner in dispensar)
work and frequent excursions down Bourlion Street. Cul-
tural pursuits are music and reading. A Phi DE and a
No. 1 draft choice he plans to set up in a small, warm,
dry southern city with wide and well-marked streets.

a genius for telling tall tales, and fabulous facial dex-
terity combined to make Jack the perfect substitute for
phenobarb and dexedrine. Coming to us from West Vir-
ginia I .. he showed himself to be a student who could
learn and perform well without taking life too seriously.
He became a wheel in Phi Beta Pi and during his senior
year externed at Bon Secours. He expects to enter gen-
eral practice although medicine and pediatrics are still
possibilities.

He began his winding road in 1918 in Willianisport, Md.
He received his B.S. from Salem College in West Vir-
ginia. He served six years in the Army and married an
understanding nurse, Thelma Nutter; now Kenny, Jr. is
a pleasant reality. A sincere and hard-working student,
Kenny finds time for collecting coins, listening to good
music, and enjoying his family. He plans to go into

from behind the counter of the local drug store. Tim
arrived on the Ellicott City scene in 1928 and has been
on the go ever since, finishing his pre-med at Johns Hop-
kins. He has achieved the miracle of keeping class fin-
ances solvent, serving as treasurer for four years. In
addition for having a practical eye for beautiful girls, he
enjoys singing. This tall, friendly boy plans to take a

ceived his A.B. in psychology in 1949. The Air Force
interrupted his education and he served overseas as an
enlisted man during the war. He externed the summer
of 1952 in the Georgia Tech student infirmary. While
liking Georgia peaches of both varieties, he prefers the

mate in the Navv convinced Roh that his future was in
medicine. Pre-medical work at College Park led to a B.S.
degree and highest honors. He married Polly Thomas in
1948. Summers were spent trucking freight for B&O.
microbe-hunting for Mrs. Filbert, and interning in the
Navy. Bob looks forward to a navy internship to better

College Park for his pre-medical work; he spent his sum-
mers touring the country and working as a YMCA camp
doctor. Aside from his widespread popularity in class
and in scores of nurse's homes Bill has also built up an
enviable scholastic record. He is president of AOA but
has also found time to do a conscientious job for four
years on the Student Council and as an active member of

ARTHUR CLYDE KNIGHT
Since 1925. the question in Philipsburg. Montana, has
been, "Which came first, Art or the guitar?" After three
years in the infantry in Germany and France he found
that the piano was just as fascinating to him as the guitar.
With these attributes it is not hard to understand why Art
was a welcomed figured around Phi Beta Pi. As a student
Art has never ceased in his efforts to add new medical
pearls to his little black book. On off hours he was always
ready for baseball, basketball, or ping-pong. A father,
Art plans to return to Montana but his friends hope that
fishing on the Chesapeake will hold him in the East.

Ben's birthplace was Canton. China but the formative
years of his life were spent in Baltimore. After three
years in the Air Force Ben returned to Johns Hopkins
to receive his A.B. in 1949 and then moved downtown to
Lombard and Greene. Ben's mood is chiefly one of bal-
anced optimism enabling him to ward off most of the trau-
matic blows of the past four vears. He is also a staunch
family man. Hobbies are photography and model plane
building while summers were spent in taking care of his

at the outset as a capable student. His Latin air and
Spanish accent sold many a Good Humor for him during
the summer of 19.52. kept his classmates laughing, the

Symphonic music, literature, and philosophy help to fill

After 36 months in the Armv. 4 vears at Guilford College,
and 2 years at North Carolina University Medical School,
Bill came north to usurp the position of tallest man in
the class. He has externed at hospitals in Baltimore.
Virginia, and North Carolina during the sunnners and
also during the school year. His limited leisure hours
ha\e been spent in oil painting, sculpturing, and furniture
making. A bit of a philosopher he is also a bachelor.
Bill's ambition is general surgery after interning back
in Carolina.

Baltimore town. After entering and leaving the portals
of such institutions of higher learning as Western Mary-
land. Johns Hopkins, and Maryland, he received a B.S.

stems from the fact that at the crucial hour he did not
have its use. One morning in June. 1929. he BOA'd in
the town of Steubenville, Ohio. Early life was spent
dodging typhoid fever along the banks of the "Beautiful
Ohio." Following undergraduate training at Kent State

NORMAN LOUIS MILLER
In January. 1929. Baltimore was blessed with a devoted
son, for Norm spent his undergraduate and graduate
years in familiar surroundings at the University of Mary-

his senior year. Extracurricular activities include mem-
bership in Phi DE, a summer externship at South Bal-
timore General, and a summer fellowship in hematology
at University. He and Kay were married in June, 1952,
and if the temptation of a lucrative career as a golfing

Lutherville were inseparable in childhood. In 1944 Dick
began his study of the classics at St. Johns College in
Annapolis but the Arniv intervened. Dick transferred to
Johns Hopkins after discharge and graduated in 1949
with a record of scholastic ability as well as prowess on
the soccer field. While at medical school Dick has been
an astute and hard-working student. In June, 1952, Dick
took the big step and married Cookie, a Virginia belle.
During that summer he worked for the USPHS. After

spent some time at the University of North Carolina: 4
years undergraduate and 2 vears medical school. Trans-
ferring north, he quickly acclimated his 6 foot 4 inch,
220 pound frame to the scholastic and extracurricular
status quo. Corbett s strongly practical nature marks his

\ersity he pushed towards the \orth. Joe's hilariously
accurate caricatures have been an ever-flowing spring of
delight to us these past four years. Vacation times have
been utilized in slowly recovering from the ravages of
school, with proper attention paid to his wife, daughter,
golfing, and wild-life of Georgia. The support of Nu Sig

JAMES EARLE ROWE. JR.
This scion of the ancient house of Rowe began his
sojourn in Baltimore in 1928. Forsaking the paternal
dental profession. Jim ran through the obstacle course
at College Park successfully, and returned home, a trium-
phant matriculant at Lombard and Greene Streets. Here
his quiet and modest attitude failed to hide an alert and
keen mind in things medical. Vacations were spent
variously as house painter, warehouse laborer, and scrub
nurse. In May, 1952, promptly after the last test of the
exam-replete junior year Jim married Betty Matthews.
After internship, internal medicine and pediatrics both
loom invitinuh in tlie foreground.
RICHARD ELIAS SCHINDLER
Dick was born in 1927 in the mountain fastness of
Cumberland, Md. As a medical corpsmen in the Navy
he acquired the ambition to become a physician and came
to medical school via College Park. Occasional outbursts
of song and rhythmic gyrations betray his past as a dance
band drummer. Other interests include oil painting,
boating, and collecting rare records. Phi DE claims an-
other segment of his time. Dick left a huge gap in the
bachelor ranks of the class when he and Miriam were
married in summer of 19.52. A rotating internship will
help him to decide on choice of further training.

nonchalantly elegant attitude one gains from association
with the international set Ed spent 21^ years in the
Army and then made the educational rounds of George-
town. George Washington. S.M.U.. and College Park
before entering medical school. Consistently hard-work-
ing and intellectually honest in his scholastic work Ed

osophy and sports with him. To really learn about
Baltimore Arn drove a taxi two summers in his spare
time when he wasn't on the golf course. Readily identi-

his wife-to-be. Nancy: they were married in Shanghai,
China, and their honeymoon was spent in a most unique
manner: traveling across the Pacific — on two different

him to medicine has been a devious one, including a year
at Mercersburg Academy, a year visiting Europe with
the Army, and a premedical course at W.Va. U. In
school he has been active in Phi Beta Pi. His summer

doesn't wish to return. His summers have been spent
doing odd jobs and working for the U.S. Public Health
Service. In 1932 he married Bettie Lou and decided to
spend his senior year "really trying to become a doctor."
After graduation Joe is looking for a general practice
internship and residency. He says he doesn't know

serve a dual function: that of a social nature and that of holding scientific

Alpha Omega Alpha
In 1902, at the University of Illinois, School of Medicine, Willis W. Root
founded Alpha Omega Al|)ha. an honorary medical fraternity, membership
in which would identify those whose attributes and activities served to raise
scholastic and scientific level of medical practice and education. The society
thus established has grown throughout fifty-one years into an international
organization which includes undergraduate students showing outstanding
scholarship as regards aptitude, intellectual grasp, moral integrity, and most
important the promise of subsequent leadership and accomplishment, as well
as those graduate physicians whose careers demonstrate possession of such
attributes. Election to AOA as such serves as both goal and stimulus for
student body and faculty alike, not only to the attainment of a well rounded
and intelligent medical education but also to the concurrent superimposition
of integrity and creativeness.
In December, 1949, AOA was installed at the University of Maryland
when Dr. Walter Bierring. national president, conferred rights for establish-
ment of the Beta Chapter of Maryland. The charter ^roup, which was com-
prised of 14 faculty members, 5 graduates and 12 members of the senior class
of that year, initiated activities which have been maintained and augmented
annually as the chapter strives to further its purpose in the University.
The present chapter decided that first hand reports on their work by some
of the most distinguished scientific investigators in our nation would serve
well as a means of arousing the curiosity on students which leads to produc-

live research, one of AOA's most important goals. In view of this. Dr.
Maxwell Wintrobe. delivered the annual fall lecture when he spoke on
"Experimental Studies in Macrocytic Anemia: Their Sifrnificance in I{i-
lation to Pernicious Anemia" to a Gordon Wilson hall packed to capacity.
The spring lecture was presented by Dr. Dayid P. Barr. Professor of Medicine
at Cornell University, who spoke on "(Chemical Kactors in the Pathogenesis
of Atherosclerosis". The members looked forward eagerK to the thir<l
animal Student Paper Da\. an afternoon program dedicated to the discussion
by students of investigative projects in which they are taking |)art.
The chapter has been efifectively guided this year by Dr. Milton S. Sacks
and Dr. J. Edmund Bradley who serve as Faculty ('ounselor and Faculty
Secretary respectively. Their leadership has been ])aramount in one of our
chapter's finest years to date.
The graduating class iticludes 16 members of Alpha Omega Alpha: and
each one realizes fully that b\ living it. he is best serving to further the
motto of AOA: "To be worthy to serve the suffering".

Mayo, and is among the oldest of medical frater-
nities. On the alumni rolls of the 43 active
chapters are over 2.5.()(H) alunuii including such
names as Sir William Osier and ('harles H. Best,
co-discoverer of insulin.
Active in the Maryland campus for 49 years.
Beta Alpha Chapter includes this year more than
7.5 members and pledges. The chapter secured
its charter in 1904 through the initiative of
Major General Norman Kirk. Surgeon General
of the Army during World War II.
The chapter maintains a house at 922 St. Paul
Street for the |)urposc of meetings, lectures,
social functions and the housing of 20 mendiers.
There are man) planned |)arties and social func-
tions throughout the year.
The educational program consisted of speakers

Phi Beta Pi
Since its reemergence in 1947 after the war period in which it had passed
into a temporary limbo, Phi Beta Pi here at Maryland has come a long way.
Its prominent location at S19 West Lombard Street, just across the street from
the school, makes the large rooms maintained there easily accessible for
between class and lunch hour relaxation, a privilege taken by many of the
members. As usual, this year smokers, guest speakers, dinners before
monthly meetings, and student seminars have dominated the schedule. In
addition, further activities such as a Christmas party, a proposed Alumni
banquet, and several other parties plus our annual shore party, always
highly successful, have come up as the year passed by.
On the academic side. Phi Beta Pi has always encouraged diligent work
(111 the part of its members. The brothers are always willing to lend a helping
hand in study jiroblems. and a large examination file is maintained as a
review aid to the members. Many faculty members have been initiated into
ihe honorar\ roil of Phi Beta Pi. The Departments of Anatomy, Bacteriology,
Pharmacology and Physiology, to name a few, are well represented. Further-
more a large number of Phi Beta alumni scattered over the city are more
and more becoming an integral part of the fraternity which is pleased to
have them visit the rooms at any time and speak at the smokers and social
functions.
This year Phi Beta Pi has pledged fourteen men and in addition there
are thirty-six actives from last year.
Much of the progress of Phi Beta Pi has been notably aided and abetted
by Dr. Eduard L hlenhuth who has served as Facultv Advisor. He has always
been willing to help and give many valuable suggestions to the operation of
the Chapter.

Phi Delta Epsilon
The year 1953 finds Phi Delta Epsilon ap-
proaching its fiftieth anniversary as one of the
outstanding medical fraternities in the nation.
Founded in 1904 at Cornell I niversity by a
group of eight young men who felt the need for
a fraternity such as this. Phi Delta Epsilon has
grown to be a national organization with a
chapter in every major medical school and with
active graduate clubs in every part of the con-
tinent. Through the years the fraternity has
been proud of its striving for and attainment of
its high standards of ethics, scientific achieve-
ments, and educational progress. It has been
a center for good fellowship on both a local and
national level, and is responsible for many last-
ing friendships.

We The Class of September 1953,
Dedicate Our Yearbook
With Untold Gratitude To
Our Parents
History of School and Cap
Miss Louisa Parsons came to the L iiiversit) to begin lier work as founder
of the University of Maryland School of Nursing on December 15. 1889.
Miss Parsons was an Knglish woman and has received her nursing education
under Florence Nightingale at St. Thomas Hospital in London. She gradu-
ated in 1880.
When Miss Parsons was preparing to come to the I nited States. Miss
Nightingale gave the pattern of a cap made of point d"espril lace which she
requested be given the nurses of the first school founded by Miss Parsons.
Thus our school was privileged to inherit the coveted Florence Nightingale
Cap now worn by its graduates.
In 1894 the Alumnae Association of the school was organized. Six years
after this, in 1900, Miss Catherine Tayhjr was made Director of Nurses and
in this same year the first three year students were graduated. Prior to
this the required training period was two years.
By 1920 the professional schools in Baltimore had been amalgamated with
the University of Maryland at College Park. To meet the demand for more
advanced education in the nursing profession, a five-year program was in-
stituted in 1924. Those graduating under this |)rogram receive a Bachelor
of Science degree.
In 1934 the new University Hospital was opened and the students lia<i a
larger, more modern "classroom" for their clinical experience.
The capping ceremony, at which students who have successfully com-
pleted their six months preclinical period receive their cap. was first per-
formed in 1943.
Miss Florence Gipe became Director of Nurses in 1946. Since that time
our educational program has been augmented so that our .school is now
acclaimed as t>ne of the nalion s finest.

,f^
Florence M. Gipe, R.N. Ed.D., Dean
Miss Gipe is an earnest advocate of advanced
education for nurses and has worked tirelessly
to improve our school's educational standards.
Under her direction. Public Health affiliations
have been made available to all students.
The introduction of a four year course is one
of Miss Gipe's most timely and valuable contri-
butions to the school's program.
Her personal achievements in the acquisition
of knowledge are a convincing example of its
advantages. Since her graduation from the York
Hospital School of Nursing, Miss Gipe has re-
ceived both a Bachelor of Science and a Master
of Science degree. Last year she acquired the
degree of Doctor of Education from the Uni-
versity of Maryland.
By combining administrative ability with
consideration of each student's potentialities,
Miss Gipe has extended the scope of opportunities
provided for the development of individual goals
and abilities.

What makes little girls become nurses?
Seldom do we stop in the rushed fulfillment
of our own duties, to consider what a tremendous
task is that of the administrators of the I'niver-
sity Hospital and its connected institutions that
include the Out Patient Department and the new
Psychiatric Institute.
When we recall the variety of requirements in
the many departments in which we have worked,
we must admire the administrative staff who is
always aware of the functions and needs of the
entire hospital.
The administration works to make the patient
comfortable as we do, by providing for pleasant
physical surroundings and equipment of all kinds
for patient care which we often take for granted
because it is so readily available. Not only must
they provide for the needs of the patients who
fill the wards, rooms and clinics but also for the
many members of the hospital stafT.
By keeping abreast of modern hospital
methods, those of the administrative stafT have
provided for us an excellent clinical worksho))
in which to acquire our nursing education. The
planning and foresight evidenced by the expan-
sion an<l improvement of hospital facilities make
us confident thai as graduates we can speak with
pride of our "home" hospital.

General Curriculum
In our hospital, the program is designed to give us a well
rounded education combining theory and practice with learning
opportunities unlimited. Our courses in medical and surgical
nursing are carefully planned to give us an understanding of the
manifestations and treatment of diseases. Many hours are spent
with informal lectures, class discussions, reference reading, demon-
strations and clinical observations; where we acquire the knowl-
edge of nursing skills needed to care for our patients.
Through the active participation in the hospital toward care
and treatment of the patients, these skills and knowledge progress.
We learn to think and act quickly, effectively and efficiently in
order to place the health and well-being of our patients as our
first and main duty.
Once the decision is made,
intense study begins.

Class Of September 1955
It isn't hard to remember that great day when
we "lower classmen" received word that we had
been accepted as a member of the University.
First came the introduction to what seemed to us
complicated routines. These were soon mastered
and we began formal classroom study. To as-
semble our new uniforms was quite a task and
our first hours of clinical practice were awkward,
but at the same time fascinating. From our
future experiences came skill in performance and
insight into the problems of nursing care.

in class we are taught to understand and relate
the anatomy and ph\siology of the part or parts
involved in operations: and to familiarize our-
selves with the various complications and their
symptoms. In caring for these patients one must
observe them keenly and constantly.
We must teach our patients how to care for
themselves after operations and in some cases
how to live with their disease.
It is in this area that we develop skills and
techniques which we use throughout our nursing
careers.

Medical Nursing
%£*7^
In medical nursing the nurse must have an
adequate knowledge of the vast diseases and
numerous situations in order to give the patients
proper nursing care. The various methods of
treatment are employed in the field of medicine,
but the nurse must be able to arrange these
treatments in such a manner that they meet the
individual needs of the patient. In this field of
nursing you meet various types of people and
though the clinical signs and symptoms of one
patient are similiar to those of another patient
with the same disease: their problems and nursing
care must be planned according to the individual.
From the day the patient is admitted until the
day he is discharged, the nurse is constantly
teaching, not only the patient, but his family in
order that they might have a better understand-
ing of the disease and the required care.

a chance to see the patients before and after

clinic she is encouraged to teach the patients and
assist with physical examinations. As a part of
her Pediatric training, the nurse has a chance to
see the babies as they return to the Well Baby
Clinic for their check-ups. Along with medical
and surgical nursing, she is permitted to assist
with treatments and minor operations. In no
other phase can so much be accom|)lishe(l in so

During a student nurse's three year period,
one month is spent in diet school where with the
assistance of the dietitian she learns the purposes
of special diets as the treatment for specific dis-
eases. She works with the dietitians and other
students to pre|)are these diets to meet the
patient's likes and diseases. Also, she is able to
give the patients and their families proper diet
instructions. She is taught to weigh and calcu-
late special diets such as low carbohydrate for
diabetic patients, low fat for infectious hepatitis
or low salt for cardiac diseases. This experience
also enlarges her knowledge (if the importance
of her own health.

Ifi the accitlent room a student nurse must
prepare to learn to meet all types of emergencies.
This training also enables her to act promptl)
and efliciently to combat disasters outside of the
hospital. She learns to share the disappoint-
ments and fears that accompany her patient's
and their family's, as she provides the immediate,
essential nursing care.
Mystery, disaster and drama fill the accident
room with such exciting experiences that they
can scarcely be equaled in any other phase of
nursins;.

In Public Health Nursing, the imrse must have
a wider and more general range of knowledge
and understanding. She must include each
family member with each patient in her teachings
and observations. Along with the nursing jjrob-
lenis of the patients goes their social and econo-
mic difficulties as well. Integrity, caution and
the ability to improvise are extremelv important
and the nurse is taught to use these principles
to the best of her ability in order to aid and
protect her patients and their families. Though
mostly on her own. she can always depend on
the City Health Department for assistance with
lier many complicated problems.
U.)
Obstetrical Nursing
A spank on the soles of his feet stimulates the
new citizen to voice protest and take his first
breath. So begins a chain reaction; the beam-
ing face of the exhausted mother; the relieved
smile of the anxious father; the welcome words
"It's a boy." These are but a few of the many
experiences one is able to share in obstetrical
nursing.
In the Out-Patient Department as we help a
mother plan for the coming baby, we are both
teaching and learning. In the delivery room, as
we see our care and reassurance allay a patients
fears, we are proud. Then, after the long awaited
moment is over, two lives instead of one. prosper
by the instructions and guidance that is given.
In these ways we. as nurses, can help change the
fears and anxiety of a new mother into hope and
happiness.
In the nursery those "blessed events" are
greeted with various expressions of joy and re-
ceive plenty of tender, loving care as they are
bathed, dressed, fed or cuddled.
Three months is so little time in which to
crowd the manv hours of class and experience.
However, time goes on and with it goes our
meniorv of the excitement of a delivery: the tears
of a disappointed mother, and the thrill of being
in on the beginning of a new life, which make
obstetrics one of the most fascinating of all
fields of nursins.

The operating room holds many new experi-
ences for a bewildered student. However, there
she is taught to act quickly and efficientlv in
order to anticipate any emergency. Slowly, with
the faithful teachings of our instructors, she
learns the names and uses of the mountains of
gleaming instruments.
The fear that accompanies her first few scrubs
soon gives away to a certain thrill as she passes
the sutures, scapel or scissors into the steady
hands of a physician who guides a patient's
illness into a ray of hope and captures the feel-
ing of mvsterious excitement and drama.

Psychiatry at
Springfield
Three months in the country with delicious
food, green grass, glorious fresh air and week
ends off describes the affiliation at Springfield
Psychiatric Hospital. However, there you are
confronted with mental turmoil and emotional
distresses of those people, behind closed windows
and locked doors, that could easily be your
friends or members of your family. You pre-
pare to meet the patient's needs and assist in
their well being and recovery.
With kindness, attention, proper approach and
treatment you help them recapture their
emotional stability so that they again are
socially secure.
In the evenings, you study hard to learn the
mental mechanisms and neuroanatomy, but in
only three months so little can be learned and
accomplished in this fast growing field of vague
knowledge.

Pediatrics
An invaluable part of a student nurse's cur-
riculum is the Pediatric experience. For three
months she learns and practices the care that
can so easily determine a childs life, death, or
behavior. Though her associations are mainly
with sick children, she learns to compare their
symptoms with those of a well child and adjusts
her approach and care according to the indi-
vidual. Also, she learns to mold her own pattern
of living to meet the childrens needs and desires.
The nurse can acquire a degree of understanding
of the growth and development of the normal
child and can observe, particularly in Pla\
Therapy, his attitude toward group participation
and living. The accumulated knowledge and
vast experiences obtained in Pediatrics can be
applied and utilized very practically in every day
living and associations with children and the
family group.
University and affiliating students attend a class
in Pediatrics.

Specialties included in a student's Pediatric
training are the Formula Room, Out-Patient
Department, and Premature Nursery. These
specialties aid a student in other fields of nursing
as well as Pediatrics. The Formula Room, for
example, enables her to teach new uncertain
mothers in Public Health, the proper method of
preparing babvs formula. From the Oul-
Patient Department, she learns how to approach
and reassure a sick child's family. Also, she is
able to follow a patient through the Well Maby
( Jinic. The Premature Nursery helps to acquaint
itie student with immediate care to miniature
human beings and prepares her for future famil\
living.

surprised to see girls you'd never met who suddenly became your friends?
. . . Sitting in your room between classes and wondering what nursing would
really be like, . . . that last 10 minutes in Sam's before flying up four flights
of stairs to anatomy and the distinctive aroma of Pharmacology lab? . . . Our
introduction to Mary Chase and the mysteries of bed making with page long
notes. . . . those first eight hour shifts and the long hours, learning the bones,
cramming and just talking? The seeemingly endless hours from 3-11 and at
last a tired senior? A black band, symbolic of competence and wisdom, the
excitement of Obstetrics, Pediatrics, Psychiatry. . . . and the many months to
finish the year book? Finally, graduation and glorious white. Yes,
memories! that through the years, will never be forgotten.
"Whites" at last.

lehem. Pennsvhania. Cheerful and pleasant, this redhead has
quickly won many friends. She enjoys active recreation such
as bowling, ice skating, tennis, and swimming, but while re-
laxing in her room she likes to read and listen to nmsic. She
enjoyed her Public Health experience very much and felt it
offered more opportunity and challenge than hospital work.

pendable nurse. Future plans for Pinkie include a home for
her husband and small daughter, along with working towards
a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing Education.

ELSIE ARDETH DIEDERICHS
Annapolis, Maryland
Because she is so absorbed in her work, many believe "Ardie"
to be the quiet kind, but we know that she has a ga\ side that
loves to tease. An\ thing she undertakes is thoroughK done as
evidenced by her scholastic average. "Ardie" enjoys any type
of active sport, but swimming is her favorite. A medical
student from Ohio endowed her with that tongue-twisting last
name when "Ardie" married Hank in May of 1%2. The operat-
ing room was "Ardie's" favorite spot during her days at
University Hospital. She hopes eventualh to be employed as
office nurse and homemaker for Dr. Heiir\ Diederichs in Ohio.

JANET GLYNDINE DOUGLAS
Baltimore, Maryland
So eager was Doug to join her parents in the hills of West
Virginia, that she arrived ahead of schedule. Her feet have
not forgotten her small beginning for they remained a size
four while the rest of her grew to a willowy height. Since
she is such a light sleeper, the backward schedule of night
dutv then sleeping during the day has developed in her an
intense dislike for noisemakers. Janet's not hallucinating when
she sings "I Thought I Saw A Puddy Tat" — she likes the song
and the "tweedie bird" who sings it. She enjoyed Obstetrics
with its optimistic atmosphere but intends to pound the pave-
ments (those poor little feet, again I on Public Health after
graduation.

swimming, horseback riding, and relaxing to classical music.
She also possesses the valuable ability to convert a few yards
of material into a lovely creation in the matter of minutes.

been active in church functions and was a most dependable
treasurer of our senior class. Jeanne feels that the emotional
needs of the patient are the most important, therefore psychi-
atric nursing is her first choice as a graduate career.

SUSAN HULSE WOOD
Galesville, Maryland
Sue is known to all of us for her quiet but efficient manner
portrayed as she performs her daily duties in the hospital.
She has adjusted well to situations arising within hospital
walls as well as those encountered at other times. Being a
bride for almost two years has not hindered her progress in
any way. First among her pet peeves is that relief shift. Off
duty hours will often find her bowling with her husband.
Future plans are not definite but sway toward general duty
nursing and raising a forest of little Woods. Whatever your
future has in store Sue. may it be the best for you.
MARY SUSAN YEAGER
Thomas, West Virginia
Picture a tall. thin, blonde with a pleasing personality and
that's Sue. When out of black stockings, she likes to stretch
her legs at the "Y" swimming pool, dance or lead in the joke
sessions. She rates the operating room tops in her nursing
experience with its exacting technics. Her warm and friendly
attitude wins the hearts of her patients and friends. Sue can't
stand night duty, but seems to get her share. Despite grueling
times on duty, Sue seems to keep her cheery manner and that's
a secret we would all like to share. The future holds excite-
ment and travel with a career in the Navy Nurse Corps.
176
LILLIAN VERNA ZANG
Galesville, Maryland
Blonde hair and blue eyes are the attractive coloring of this
member of our class. On her day off she is usually found
with suitcase in hand trotting down to the bus station to get
home and breathe that fresh country air. A trip downtown
would not be complete if she did not stop somewhere on the
way back and get something to eat. Her pet peeve is a lot of
noise when trying to sleep after a hard day's work. Verna
plans to work in Annapolis after graduation. Her efficiency
and love of nursing will make a success wherever she is.
177
Activities
The Student Government Association of this
School of Nursing is actively participated in by
every student. In cooperation with a representa-
tive from each class, the Student Government
officers form a Student Council which exercises
legislative, executive and judicial powers. These
officers are elected by the entire student body and
exercise the right of administering punishment
to those students who have disobeyed rules and
regulations. Both the Student Council and the
Student Government Association hold monthly
meetings in which many issues vital to student
happiness and welfare during the three year
period in the School of Nursing are discussed
and voted upon. A Social and a House Com-
mittee work in unity with the Council to provide
varied activities and to establish House Rules for
the betterment of student life.
There is time for social life.

When a student enters the nursing school, she
finds that the Student Government Association
Social Committee has planned a large sphere of
activities for her during off-duty time. Sports
such as bowling, basketball, and ice skating offer
enjovment for every taste. The Glee Glub was
particularly active during the Christmas season
and a pajama party was held, during which the
Christmas tree was trimmed. This year a Min-
strel show and bazaar were sponsored by the
Student Government Association to raise funds
for student Public Health coats. Each month
an informal dance is held to which members of
the other I'niversity of Maryland professional
schools are invited. The two early Fall dances
this year took place on the roof of our new
Psychiatric Building. To round out this ex-
citing year, the Junior-Senior formal was held.
Life as a student nurse is most enjoyable.
Hoiiiecoiiiing Queen
In 1951 something new was added to the
University School of Nursing. A Homecoming
Queen, selected by official judges, was sent to
participate in the festive Home Coming celebra-
tions at College Park, which included competing
with their chosen queen. Each year since then
this has been done with eager enthusiasm and
plans are being made to make this an annual
tradition. Nancy Jo Kolhoss was our candidate
this year.

It is through these girls behind the scenes that
our yearbook is produced. All arrangements
for picture taking, write-ups. and interviews are
made by these students with the guidance of our
advisor. Their time is utilized in selling ads
and obtaining patrons to assist in the financial
